It's Hockey Day In America and NBC/NBC Sports Network is showing three NHL games. Things to know about Sunday's game:

-It's almost three years since the 2010 Olympics gold-medal game, and as we all remember, Sidney Crosby beat Ryan Miller in overtime in that game to give Canada the win against the USA. In their last meeting in the NHL, Pittsburgh Penguins star Crosby had the upper hand, too, scoring a goal and three assists against the Buffalo Sabres goalie.

-The Los Angeles Kings and Chicago Blackhawks are meeting in the second NBC game. They met on opening day and the Blackhawks' 5-2 win was an early sign that Chicago was going to have a special season and the Kings would have a Stanley Cup hangover.

-NBC Sports Network will show the Washington Capitals at New York Rangers at 6. Capitals defenseman Mike Green will miss the game with a lower-body injury, the team said. He's day-to-day.

-Boston Bruins winger Milan Lucic will miss the Winnipeg Jets' game because he had to return home for a personal reason.

-Mikael Samuelsson, who missed the past 12 games with a groin muscle injury, will return to the Detroit Red Wings' lineup against the Minnesota Wild. Pavel Datsyuk (upper body) is a game-time decision and goalie Petr Mrazek will make his second start of the season.

-Vancouver Canucks goalie Roberto Luongo will be in net against the St. Louis Blues.

-The Dallas Stars have won five of their last six games. The lone loss was to Sunday's opponent, the Calgary Flames. Michael Cammalleri had a hat trick in that game.
